Earth has 4,00,000 plants, over 1.5 million of animals and over 9,50,000 insects species. There are total 16,306 endangered plants and animals species threatened to exist in near future. More than 3 million years ago humans have been hunters with all skillset of hunting and gathering. Farming and colonizing as civilizations is seen as evolution of human behaviour. However, as per research the reason for this transition is unclear, whether increasing population, climate change, or changes in social behaviour drove intensification.

Humans can coexist with other species playing humanitarian role. We the most brainy species among all is to protect the ecosystem around.The incremental extinction rate is regressive for Earth habitat. Till date thousands of species are extinct and won’t return to ecology again. Human population explosion lead to such extinctions with per capita resource consumption is on rise.

However, protected status and conservation laws have salvaged many species way back from oblivion. Endangered species as Siberian tiger, Golden monkey, Island Fox, White rhino etc have been dragged from the brink.

Earth is habitable till the ecology is favorable to existence for the beings of our planet. All living beings stand equal chance to live on planet earth.Human as protector and not as predator can conserve Earth .

Arctic is much warmer place than it use to be a century ago. Infact the accelerating warming rate is twice as fast as rest of the planet. As per the study, from year 1981 to 2001 the warming rate is eight times than the rate of Arctic warming over the last 100 years. Snow coverage area is just half the amount as before.

We will witness global sea level rise by more than three meters in this century alone, according to a new study by university of Southampton scientist. By 2030 every coal plant in European Union should be closed and each one in the world should shut by 2050 to comply with commitments under Paris Agreement on climate change.

Scotland and Ireland are pro towards fossil energy reduction. Germany and Poland still rely much on fossil fuel contributing 54 per cent of EU’s total emission from coal fired plants. Paris Agreement seeks to keep global warming to below 2C, the point at which scientists believe the effects of climate change would become particularly dangerous with increased storms, deadly heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods.

Global warming is catching up. It’s time we cut our carbon emissions or ready to pay for it heavily.

I remember IIM’s Gopalkrishanan quote -Deserve before u desire. So true! Most of us in pursuit of desires forget to fulfill the gap of what we actually deserve. Its futile if we can’t prove the worth of desires by deserving and striving for them.

Long time back I promised myself for whatsoever I will always clear up the clogs of my mind and never lead a confused life. I am glad I kept it.
